The Secret to Successfully Harvesting Healthy Chickens Without Chemical Drugs

To successfully raise healthy chickens without relying on chemical treatments, there are several key secrets you can apply. The key is to focus on prevention and create an optimal environment for chicken growth.




1. Quality of Superior Seeds

Choose chicks from a reputable breeder. Healthy chicks from the start will have better immunity and be less susceptible to disease. Look for chicks that are active, have bright eyes, and have clean feathers.

2. Natural Feed Management

Feed is the main foundation. You can use fermented feed or feed enriched with natural ingredients such as herbs and spices .

  • Feed Fermentation: This process increases nutrition and makes feed more digestible. Use natural probiotics like EM4 or brown sugar solution for fermentation.

  • Herbs and Spices: Add a mixture of turmeric, ginger, Javanese ginger, and garlic to feed or drinking water. These ingredients act as natural antibiotics , effectively fighting harmful bacteria and increasing the chickens' appetite.

3. Strict Cage Sanitation

A clean cage environment is the best defense. Perform regular cleaning to prevent the buildup of waste that can become a breeding ground for disease.

  • Ventilation: Ensure good air circulation in the cage to avoid humidity which can trigger the growth of mold and bacteria.

  • Natural Disinfection: Use natural disinfectants such as lemongrass solution or apple cider vinegar to clean the cage regularly.

4. Use of Probiotics

Probiotics help balance the microbiota in the chicken's digestive tract. Healthy digestion improves nutrient absorption and boosts immunity. You can add probiotics to drinking water or feed.

5. Stress Management

Stressed chickens are more susceptible to illness. Ensure they are neither too hot nor too cold, and have enough space to move around. Excessive noise can also stress chickens. Keep the coop environment quiet and comfortable.

By consistently applying these five secrets, you can minimize the use of chemical drugs and produce chickens that are healthier, more natural, and have better meat quality.
